    No it wasn't actually ever meant to replace them..That's just what the Hiveworkshop does? I honestly don't know how they do that, I can have a look though if you that'd be a good way to do it?

    But yeah, Idk.. I think the current system is pretty poor either way. I'll give you that, but it has been there since we first appeared xD

    *Shrug* Just pixels. But they're shiny!
    They do their job well, though!

    I've got a suggestion now,
    Consider it if you will.

    Okay.
    So, the current system is too static in my opinion;
    Getting gems is something that is close to routine since
    The quantity of rep between the remains much unchanged.
    So,
    I'd like to propose a system that makes earning gems
    Progressively harder (make them require more rep).
    Here Goes:
    • Start with 1 purple gem (9 pts.)
    • 2[sup]nd[/sup] purple gem @ 10 pts. (+1)
    • 1[sup]st[/sup] green gem @ 15 pts. (+5)
    • 2[sup]nd[/sup] green gem @ 25 pts. (+10)
    • 1[sup]st[/sup] orange gem @ 40 pts. (+15)
    • 2[sup]nd[/sup] orange gem @ 60 pts. (+20)
    • 1[sup]st[/sup] red gem @ 85 pts. (+25)
    • 2[sup]nd[/sup] red gem @ 115 pts. (+30)
    • 1[sup]st[/sup] blue gem @ 150 pts. (+35)

    A plus of this system is that it's purely algorithmic.
    Aka, extremely easy to put into play.
    As an alternative, you could have it
    Start at 0 (with still one purple gem) and subtract 9
    From all the values I proposed.
    Finally, this is purely a template,
    Values and colors can be changed as desired.
    EDIT:
    Another plus.
    It doesn't have to stop there.

    Really? Oh.

    Either way, I think it looks much cleaner that way. Hey, in my opinion, having 10 rep icons next-to-eachother on 60 rep points instead of 4 greens seems a bit too messy. Just imagine how it'll look once some user reaches 500 rep points... I think the hive's rep system is quite perfect. It looks satisfying and clean at the same time.

    Are we changing up the system? I wouldn't mind if we did.

    I see what you did there.

    I feel the gems are earned a little to easy.

    I felt good earning them and getting compliments from people in my rep tab, but I won't hide the fact that the system is very exploitable.
